Copper Mediated Formation of Carbon-Heteroatom Bonds Using Organoboron Reagents and Ultrasound
摘要:
This report summarizes research efforts focused on copper acetate mediated reactions to form new carbon-heteroatom bonds using organoboron reagents under ultrasound irradiation. The method involves the application of ultrasound irradiation to the Chan-Evans-Lam reaction to achieve O-arylation of phenols, N-arylation of anilines and indoles, and S-arylation of thiols. Ultrasound irradiation was found to decrease reaction times from 72 hours to 4 hours while improving the product yields an average of 20%(1) Representative C-O, C-N, and C-S coupling reactions were successfully scaled-up from the milligram to gram levels while maintaining good product yields offering potential applications in industrial processes.
Combination of formamide and cyanuric chloride afforded a new combined “CN” source which is highly stable and safe and can be used in organic cyanation transformation reactions instead of common cyanide sources. This study unfolds the efficient Pd‐catalyzedcyanation of aryl halides using TCT‐formamide reagent as a new combined “CN” source.
